I would neither support in or oppose it. If people want to willingly participate and people want to watch, who am I to give a shit?

It already happens. However it is best kept underground where it belongs. Some people make very quick and rash decisions. ...say a break up and then they do this....or retarded and think they can fight. Keep it out of the mainstream.

It would be cool to see gladiators fighting in an arena like that, but I wouldn't want to see anybody actually die or get seriously injured.

Yes. You are aware though that the actual voluntary gladiator performances were only a minor fraction of what went down in Roman theaters, right? It's pretty well documented, among which having unarmed or very lightly armed Christians struggle to a certain death under the attack of wild animals or gladiators. You're right though, the Romans loved it! Good for them. Too bad that apparently, the retarded streak in their culture still sounds through in our's.
Aww no not Christians! Poor little Christians getting killed! ps haha fuck Christians.

the Arena was only so accepted by the Romans because it was nothing compared to the overall brutality of that time period where men went off to war to die by the thousands, not to mention they used mostly slaves and prisoners of war who were considered enemies of Rome.
also only about 1 out of 6 gladiators actually died in the arena.

I wouldn't pay to see it I probably wouldn't watch it but I would be ok with something like this existing
as long as all members involved did so by choice
if I was on death row or something and had the option to take part I would
actually I take that back, I would love to see real weapon combat among skilled combatants I don't want to see people getting killed but to see combat as it was would be interesting

The 20th century saw death and carnage that the Romans wouldn't have even been able to imagine.

I'm talking about guys with medieval weaponry entering a booby-trapped arena and fighting with a very real chance of dismemberment and/or death.
Would you pay to see it?
I'm against the death penalty but I find the distinction between it and human sacrifice or gladiatorial combat to be somewhat quibbling, so what the hell, if you're gonna have state-sponsored executions you might as well try to turn a buck on it.

I would consider supporting this if it were people on death row who were fighting.
2 people enter, one man dies which he would have anyways. And the other man gets to stay alive as long as he wins in the arena
